Smoking during pregnancy leads to higher risks of heart disease in children
In health news, Australian researchers find that maternal smoking during pregnancy leads to higher risks of heart disease in children. Dr. David Celermajer, of the Heart Research Institute at the University of Sydney and colleagues analyzed the effects which maternal smoking during pregnancy had on more than 400 eight-year-old children. The scientists discovered that there was a significantly lower level of HDL cholesterol levels in youngsters with mothers who had smoked during pregnancy. Dr. Celermajer suggested that this increased the likelihood 10 to 15% of the children developing coronary disease later in life, compared to youngsters whose mothers had not smoked while pregnant. Our thankfulness, Dr. David Celermajer and colleagues, for highlighting yet another danger of tobacco use. May we protect our precious children, as well as all treasured global citizens, by adopting life-affirming non-smoking ways.
